Chicago Bears legend Brian Urlacher spoke out against Illinois Democrats for giving billions of dollars to illegal immigrants, while the Bears now plan to move to Indiana because Illinois failed to pass a tax relief and stadium incentive bill.

@nickkokonas You should pick the dems- they're far from ideal but at least they aren't objectively evil. It's not a hard call at all if you're a decent human being
English
I feel completely unrepresented by current politics.
On the left -- taxation, anti growth, envy, etc.
On the right -- UFC at the White House, anti science, etc
Both -- division.
When do we get vision, logic, individual liberty?

@Hollymarie50 It's a good thing to prevent people from going hungry you selfish cunt. If you think Darren the hillbilly Bailey will be elected you're a dumb selfish cunt

JB Pritzker and his administration snuck in a $70 million 'FRESH' program into a 3,700-page budget at the last second just to bypass federal work mandates.
His administration is giving those able-bodied adults $400 taxpayer-funded reward to people who got kicked off SNAP for failing to work 20 hours a week.
Working families are sick of this!!
JB Pritzker@JBPritzker
Donald Trump kicked 3.5 million people off SNAP suggesting we can't afford it, but a new ballroom and $50 billion war in Iran? No problem.

@shayes99 @susanamendoza10 Lol, it's 2026. Is this image cropped to hide the fact that it's s not from a reliable source? do you work for the cop who sells Shotspotter to cities? Don't forget to mention the false alerts for thunder, fireworks & car backfires. Try harder

Cherry picking stats & comparing apples to oranges, as you've done by comparing response times in winter vs summer instead of summer vs summer, is the actual dereliction of duty costing Chicagoans their lives. Over 80 people have died in Chicago, some of whom could've been saved before they bled out on our streets had you not removed ShotSpotter.
When I'm Mayor, we'll bring back ShotSpotter or something even better, we won't let our residents bleed out on our streets, and we'll hold shooters accountable.
Mayor Brandon Johnson@ChicagosMayor
Every single neighborhood that used to have those walkie talkies on poles has seen violence go down after they were removed. I'm not going to sell Chicagoans a false bill of goods just to enrich the interests of corporations. Any technology with a proven track record of driving down violence, I'm willing to explore. Accepting anything less than that would be a derelict of my duty as mayor.

@DarrenBaileyIL So you want people - including children - to starve on the streets. Cool story bro. Your "Christian values" seem to be missing in action 🤡

If you’re in Illinois illegally, you shouldn’t receive taxpayer-funded benefits.
This shouldn’t be controversial.

I find the 2 most insufferable group of people on the planet are lifetime educators and lifetime politicians. Both live in a fantasy world that lacks common sense and would not survive a day in the real world

@GregoryKBovino Hey tiny Tim, STFU about Chicago. You're not only small you're dumb af too

Illegal aliens killed the stadium deal!!!!!!
JB Pritzker can’t cut a deal to keep the Bears in Illinois, but he’ll drop billions housing illegals shipped to Chicago.
Cubs + Bears equals $1.2 BILLION in revenue a year. Taxpayers. Jobs. Tourism.
Invaders equal a massive net drain.
Pritzker would rather fund housing for people who just got here than take care of the Chicago teams that actually pay the bills.
Priorities tell you everything
I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸@ImMeme0
After the Chicago Bears’ $2 billion offer for a new stadium in exchange for predictable, long-term property tax rules, Governor Pritzker was unable to negotiate the deal and placed 100% of the blame on the Bears. When confronted with blowing billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal migrants, he refused to take any accountability and simply blamed Governor Abbott for busing them to Chicago.

Rahm Emanuel
(Former Chicago Mayor)
English
@MilesKLassin And he closed half of the mental health clinics in Chicago. The damage he did to our city will take decades to repair. And racist these clowns blame Brandon Johnson for being left a shit legacy.
English
The economic principles Rahm Emanuel upheld as Chicago mayor included promoting unfettered corporate profiteering & plunder of communities of color, attacking labor unions, shutting down public schools & privatizing as much as possible—Good he didn’t get the World Cup but come on
Rahm Emanuel@RahmEmanuel
As Mayor of Chicago, I held a set of economic principles that I was never going to violate. Chief among them: don’t allow taxpayers to be treated as the dumb money at the table. We’ve brought the NFL Draft, NHL Draft, and NBA All-Star Game to Chicago on our terms. FIFA wanted to take the reward from the World Cup games while our city received the promise of ‘marketing dollars’ with no intrinsic value. I've passed 8th grade math and the numbers don't work. Not happening. Chicago is a world-class host for sporting events, theatre, the arts, and the culinary world without needing to screw over middle-class Chicagoans. nytimes.com/athletic/73188…

@DuszaLukasz Hi non-Chicagoan. Shotspotter didn't work. Hope that helps.

A gunshot doesn’t care about politics.
When shots are fired, every second matters.
If technology helps police get to a shooting victim faster, why would we choose to be slower?

@w_h_thompson Hey jackass you're dumb in addiction to being a jackass. Crime is down. Shotspotter didn't work. Cops are lazy. They get paid $2 billion of our tax dollars sit in their cars on their phones and do absolutely nothing to prevent or solve crime. Take a seat lameass

The following individuals would have likely benefited from ShotSpotter and might disagree with your assessment, but they can't, because they're dead:

@ChicagosMayor Exactly. We don't need some former cop-created unreliable tech so cops can sit in their cars on their phones all day while we pay $2 billion to CPD. Tell 'em Brandon

@susanamendoza10 Aside from the fact that you're only being openly critical now because you're running for mayor, but you've been in politics for decades without a single solution being offered. So... what's your plan Susana? Do tell.
English
It is simply unacceptable for public trains to serve as homeless shelters. Individuals experiencing homelessness deserve real resources and comprehensive assistance, including substance abuse and mental health services, to truly guide them toward recovery.
Chicago spends at least $69 million on homelessness initiatives, yet this is the best we have to show for it? We must demand accountability. These programs need to deliver real results for the taxpayers footing the bill and, most importantly, for the people who desperately need the help.
Chris in Chicago@mipolitico
Taking the Blue Line home after a red eye from ORD and every car is full of people dealing with housing insecurity. This is not how you deal with homelessness. This is not the role of public transit. This is not how you introduce tourists to your city. @ChicagosMayor

@JennyGooz Uh, no. She's running the Vallas playbook & it will backfire on her like it did for him. She's pandering to racist voters with her lame posts. It will be a joy to see her lose.

Line of the week 👇🏼
People don't change until they're present to the pain. Chicago, have we had enough pain yet?
It's not enough to have hopes and dreams of leading this great city. You must be capable. And you must be willing to make tough decisions, even at the risk of being unpopular.
The lack of experience and ability is killing us. Running a city has nothing to do with ideology or beliefs.
You've got to be able to operate. Period.
She's ready. Dig us out of this blizzard of incompetence. ☃️

How do you acknowledge Gun Violence Prevention Day without acknowledging that 5 residents in our city - the city you're supposed to lead - were shot and 2 murdered in a mass shooting in Back of the Yards?
Mayor Brandon Johnson@ChicagosMayor
We refuse to accept any level of violence as normal. But we are encouraged, especially on Gun Violence Awareness Day, of the progress @Chicago is making in driving down crime. My administration will continue strengthening community violence intervention, coordinated responses to crime, and increased investment in our young people.
